I have the perfect inspiration.

The military item is the waxed cotton M-43 jacket.

Thanks! Yes, it's the Drake's version of the M43 jacket.

I get that, sure. I'll be using mostly my own gear but there's something I want to use.

To be fair it is extraordinarily hard to own firearms in the UK

Some inspiration with SW&D vibe:

Jean Sassi, a legendary "behind enemy lines" former Jedburgh paratrooper who set up multiple resistance networks in Indochina:

Mermoz, an aviator with a bit of an @UrbanComposition vibe:

Lt Col 'Paddy' Mayne, who under (Sir) David Stirling blew up many German aircrafts in North Africa by hand, some say more than the RAF had managed to shoot down!

Especially now! You have to have a licence to own an air rifle now.

Yes, thank you.
This challenge is perhaps the most broad ever.
So much choice.

And those guys are legends.

I have several items that would be great for this, but are with the majority of my wardrobe back in California. I might be able to pull something together with what I have.
